(g) Release of incarcerated individuals.--
(1) In the event that the Governor, by executive order,
proclamation, regulation or otherwise seeks to release,
transfer or otherwise move an inmate from the custody of a
State correctional institution or county correctional
institution as a result of the authority vested in the
Governor pursuant to this title, the Governor must first
identify specific conditions of the disaster that create a
specific and substantial danger to the inmate if the inmate
remains incarcerated and which specific and substantial
danger would be reduced or eliminated if the inmate was
released.
(2) The Office of Victim Advocate, either the district
attorney or the Attorney General who had jurisdiction over
the sentence for which the inmate was incarcerated, and the
sentencing court shall be provided notice of the inmate whom
the Governor seeks to release, transfer or otherwise move
under paragraph (1) and shall be given no less than 72 hours
after receipt of the notice to object or otherwise comment on
the release, transfer or other movement of the inmate. In the
event that the inmate is incarcerated in a county
correctional institution, the notice shall also be provided
to the board of commissioners or the county executive of the
county in which the institution is located, and the board of
commissioners or county executive shall be given an
opportunity to object or otherwise comment. No individual
may be released, transferred or otherwise moved under
paragraph (1) for which an objection is timely received.
(3) Regardless of the sentence imposed, an inmate may
not be released, transferred or otherwise moved under
